[Livestream Recording] Sport as a Catalyst: Advancing Gender Equality and Social Impact through Strategic Partnerships

Sport is a powerful yet underused force for social transformation. At a special side event of the 2025 United Nations High-Level Political Forum (HLPF), global leaders from government, sport, philanthropy, media, and development gathered to unlock its potential to advance gender equality and accelerate progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Co-hosted by ChildFund Rugby, World Rugby, and UN Women, in collaboration with the Governments of Singapore and Monaco, the event showcased how targeted, values-driven partnerships in sport are already delivering measurable impact around the world.

As we mark the Beijing Plus 30 , which recognises 30 years since the world’s most ambitious platform for gender equality, it is time to accelerate change.

Watch the event replay to explore how innovative sport partnerships can deliver measurable social impact and advance the Sustainable Development Goals.
